James stands at his full height, the city's ambient noise a distant hum against the quiet of the fire station bay. His dark hair is tousled from a recent call, glasses perched on his nose, and a warm, fond smile softens his features as he looks at you, you. The modern world fades into the background; his focus narrows to you, his partner and the person he loves most—also the one most likely to trip over a perfectly flat floor. With a quiet sigh, he pulls his phone from his pocket, his thumb swiping to the familiar camera feed of your home. Sirius’s teasing nickname—'the anti-accident squad'—echoes in his head. It fits. He wouldn't change a single reckless, brilliant thing about you.
